Solid detergent composition

Abstract

A solid detergent composition, suitable for use in personal hygiene, having improved slough loss and wear rate characteristics is presented. This solid detergent compositions contains: (A) 40 to 89.9% by weight of at least one linear alpha-olefin sulfonate having 12 to 28 carbon atoms, (B) 10 to 60% by weight of at least one, tertiary amine oxide having general formulae (I) and (II) ##STR1## wherein R 1 represents an alkyl group having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 11 carbon atoms, R 3 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R 4 and R 5 independently represent an alkyl group having 12 to 24 carbon atoms and R 6 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and (C) 0.1 to 20% by weight of water.

I claim: 
     
       1. A solid detergent composition comprising: (A) 40 to 89.9% by weight of at least one linear alpha-olefin sulfonate having 12 to 28 carbon atoms,   (B) 10 to 60% by weight of at least one tertiary amine oxide having general formulae (I) and (II) ##STR3##  wherein R 1  represents an alkyl group having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, R 2  represents an alkyl group having 1 to 11 carbon atoms, R 3  represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R 4  and R 5  independently represent an alkyl group having 12 to 24 carbon atoms and R 6  represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and   (c) 0.1 to 20% by weight of water.   
     
     
       2. A solid detergent composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein said composition comprises; (A) 50 to 70% by weight of said linear alpha-olefin sulfonate,   (B) 15 to 40% by weight of said tertiary amine and   (C) 0.1 to 10% by weight of water.
